Drug Addict

Reported HIV infections have closely relationship with individual behaviours and lifestyle. It has been confirmed that the two major ways of infections are through sexual relations and sharing of drug injection needles. Social illness problems arising from moral decadence among youth that could lead to the spread of HIV becomes more obvious and worrying. A research on the youth loitering (“lepak”) behaviors that has been conducted in 1994 reveals that 18% out of 6,110 youth respondents has had the experience of having free sex, 14% has had drug abuse experience. A research on youth and AIDS that has been conducted in 1996 on 4,347 general youth with ages between 13 – 25 revealed that 6% has had free sex, 5% had been involved in drug addiction and 31% in smoking. The negative development above if not controlled urgently will become worst and will further worsen the AIDS problem. Therefore special preventive steps with concentration on youth should be taken.
